The fact that entrepreneurship is currently one of the areas undergoing the biggest booms at a worldwide level is not because it is fashionable or trendy, but rather because the technological and intellectual conditions have led the new generations to understand that innovation is essential for both the economic and social wellbeing of the modern world. With this in mind, EAE Business School has run various programs designed to promote all entrepreneurial activity at all levels. One of the most successful initiatives in this respect, and which has generated the best results, is the disruptive startup incubator: EAE Lab.
